    At least switch to vaping. It’s 95% less harmful, especially if you go with an open mod and not sketchy gas station liquid.

          It’s a “would somebody please think of the children”-thing because of vape flavours

              Indeed. Cigarettes can of course have flavours along with snuff products because why does anything need to make sense. The European Union is also trying to bust the balls of our legislators over this, but they just keep saying they’ll do it tomorrow perpetually.

      What do you mean it’s less harmful? You’re pulling in smoke of course it will be detrimental for your lung. Saying it’s less harmful is just a blatant example of self-gaslighting

        You’re pulling in smoke

        You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the whole process, and your opinion should be discarded as the ignorant rambling it is.

              But we don’t really have the long-term data on vaping. While I might concede with vaping being less detrimental to the lungs than smoking, I am still skeptical towards people saying vaping is a lot better. Smoking doesn’t kill you in a short amount of time, but it has existed way longer than vaping, so of course we have the data.

        Would you say having one shot of liquor is less harmful than drinking a bottle? Or no, because you’re still drinking poison, so, clearly gaslighting yourself.

        You don’t inhale smoke when vaping unless you’re doing something very wrong. You don’t even inhale vapor.

        It’s atomized glycerin, propylene glycol, nicotine, and flavorings (unless you vape unflavored like me).

        Someone needs to look up the term vaping, which comes from the term vapor, there’s a reason vaping isn’t called smoking. Vaping helped both me and my wife eventually quit smoking and vaping altogether. It was a great stepping stone to getting clean

            Technically both, the heating unit is an atomizer which then super heats the liquid mixing it with an air stream to become aerosol vapor
